Overview
What this article covers
Campaign Flightings in Advvy represent the scheduled time periods during which media activity is active within a campaign. Flighting data is automatically synced from your media plan and stored on a weekly basis, keeping your campaign timelines accurate and aligned with your planning inputs.
This article explains what Flightings are, how they are created, how to access them, and what data they contain.
